Dedicated to cruelty free living through a vegetarian vegan lifestyle.

Foundation for Compassion

In 1997 Frank and Mary Hoffman were discussing how they could most
effectively spread their message of compassionate living for humans, animals,
and the environment to as many people as possible.

They decided to form The Mary T. and Frank L. Hoffman Family Foundation, a
501 (c) (3) tax-exempt, charitable organization. This insured the most
prudent use of funds.

Additionally, in January 1998 they began the
www.all-creatures.org
web site which is dedicated to promoting cruelty-free living through a
vegetarian/vegan lifestyle according to Judeo-Christian ethics. Their stated
mission is, "Unconditional love and compassion is the foundation of our peaceful
means of accomplishing this goal for all of God's creatures, whether human or
otherwise.

They are trying to reintroduce true unconditional love and compassion for
people, animals, and the environment in religious institutions and to provide
comfort to compassionate people who have been "hurt" and/or turned away by these
same institutions who fail to live up to the scriptures they preach.

The Hoffmans remember how happy they were when they had all of ten visitors
to their web site per day! By the end of the first year, the number of
visitors per day had grown to 100. The web site has continued to grow to
the point that in the year 2007 they had over ten million visitors, generating
million of hits to their more than 55,000 published documents.

One of the busiest section of their web site is the on-line vegan cookbook
which receives an average of 3,000 hits per day. Other sections of the web site
include animal rights, articles, poetry, stories, spiritual and inspirational
writings, and extensive art and photo journals which include Mary's watercolors.
